Linear Acceleration Electricity Generating Apparatus

Abstract

A linear acceleration electricity generating apparatus, based on a new concept entirely different from the conventional electricity generating methods, can generate electricity with high efficiency, with a small external energy input, and further can achieve a stable supply of electricity without apprehension of exhaustion, while paying due consideration to the environment. The linear acceleration electricity generating apparatus comprises an electron supplier 20 possessing free electrons, an electron emitter 30 provided on the electron supplier 20 in an electrically conductive state, one or a plurality of electron accelerating electrodes 40 for linearly accelerating electrons e within the electron emitter 30 in the direction of electron emission provided electrically insulated from the electron emitter 30, and an electron collector 50 for collecting the electrons e emitted from the electron emitter 30 provided opposite to the electron emitter 30 through an electrical insulation space F, wherein the electrons within the electron emitter 30 are linearly accelerated by applying a positive voltage to the electron accelerating electrode 40, emitted as ballistic electrons into the electrical insulation space F from the electron emitter 30, and received and collected by the electron collector 50.
